Yogurt has been slowing me down - I SWEAR!



Recommended Posts

I don't even know when I started eating a yogurt everyday . . . but I did - and the other day I was looking at the label for some other reason, and the dang CARBS caught me totally by surprise . . . OMG . . . I stopped eating them daily, and the scale has started to move again. (I know, I know - if I logged my food . . . yadda yadda yadda - it ain't going to happen in my lifetime) . . . Anyway . . . maybe it's just coincidence and it was about to move anyway - but the only way I ever lost weight (preband) was keeping the carbs WAY down . . . and I think they were out of control right now. Wahoo! I'm a happy camper and fading to skinny (alas - very slowly lol).

Have a great day everyone!

Chris

Low calorie tends to be high carb and vice versa. If you enjoy yogurt, and carbs seem to have that much effect on you, go for the low carb options over low cal/low fat.

You can always omit it and add it from your diet to trend its effect. Maybe it was coincidence, but tracking it for a few weeks will help you figure out for sure.

My doctor told me If I am going to have a yougart I need to add some solid food to it. Like fruit or granola. He saud because it is a mushy food it slips right thru the band and we dont stay hungry as long.

But Hey Chris! atleast you figured out how to get it moving again!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
